Black and Gold

I've always loved working with gold, so had fun using gold & black for a couple challenges. First is the card I made for the last Hero Arts Flickr Scramble hosted by the super talented, Betty. Her inspiration cards are all amazing!

The old HA heart stamp was clear embossed on a panel I had covered in Delicata Golden Glitz. Then I covered it with Brilliance Graphite Black & wiped the ink off the embossed image.

The gold shows through a bit giving the whole panel a gorgeous shimmer. I also covered the card front with the gold ink, so it shimmers, too. My friend, Alexandra, is hosting this month's ScrapRDV challenge to use gold with black &/or white. I've been wanting to make something with the PB rose die I got from my friend, Rosemary.

I inked the die cut with gold & embossed with JudiKins Iridescent Sparkle a couple times. Then I inlaid the rose into a panel stamped with a PB sentiment from the set called friendship. Forgot to splatter before inlaying the rose, so I covered it with the die & then added the black splatters. A scrap of black & white striped paper down the left side finished it off. Always feels good to end up with a card you really like! Thinking this would be pretty in other color combos, too. I'm also entering Time Out & Word Art Wednesday. Thanks so much for stopping by.

They're two really lovely cards Greta. I've been the biggest HA fan over the years. The colour combination looks lovely and I really like the way you have inlaid your embossed rose. It's beautiful. Barbxx
